Tanner Butte via 5 mile Ridge - 2013/06/15

Saturday I set off with some other folks from portlandhikers.org to see if we could traverse the 5 mile long ridge South of Opal Creek in the Eagle Creek drainage all the way to Tanner Butte, then return on the Tanner butte Trail. It turned into a great adventure that began with having to ford Eagle Creek! All told the trip came in at about 22 miles with 6000' of elevation gain that took us 13 hours to complete.
